It's time to break this team up?
DLO has looked awful for too long.
Randle seems limited, good at some things but lacking at others.

Just completely lacking in fundamentals and consistency.

Very disappointing.

Not the whole team, but I don't think the pieces fit at all.

I'm done with Randle and Clarkson.

Russell needs more time but even he is falling behind the curve.

Ingram is saved only by the fact that he's still a rookie but he will be joining the aforementioned guys if he doesn't show progress through next season.

If you can package both with one of the bad contracts for a quality player, you do it and move on.

If Isaac falls a bit in the draft, and some team was enamoured with Randle, I'd gladly trade Randle and Clarkson for the pick that resulted in Isaac and take back a bad contract with the pick. Then hopefully keep our pick and take jackson.

A lineup of this is like a wet dream. Of course hiiighly unlikely.

Dlo
Jackson
Ingram
Isaac
Zubac

There's giving up on players and then there's acknowledging that the pieces may not fit.

Ok. That still doesn't change the fact that the players the OP mentioned haven't even played two full seasons together.

At this point I'd move Julius but I believe we should hold Russell for at least one more season because he is a talented player and man ... he was a second pick, a team going to the lottery so many years can't afford to lose a 2nd pick in one of the deepest drafts in years. Lets see if he can develop his body and put it all together unless we find a trade for a legit all star.

I missed this game but how do you give up 34.25 points per quarter to a team coming with a worse record? (And Without a 40+ point quarter in there to spike the average)

This was absolutely disgraceful!

I don't care who's 19,20 or that type of crap. It's not about lineups, it's about pride and these guys are weak.

It's crazy right? Almost as if the team is filled with young guys still learning how the play the game.

6 turnovers in the first 6 minutes was a good start

No, i think the team needs stability, direction, and leadership from the front office. Maybe Jerry West as a consultant would help.

That's the only thing i can think of now. Can't blame Kobe and frankly tired of blaming the coaches.

Sure but we don't even have an offensive go-to option, which is paramount.

Well serves us right for not tanking hard enough the few year, and also no one knew some of the players that were draft behind us was better than we thought.

Well, it's early, but outside of drafting Jokic and Booker, I don't know what they could've done to remedy that. Maybe there's a trade they could've made.

Lakers really haven't had much luck finding a superstar. Gonna need more luck. More suckage to climb out of this hole.
